Adrian Clingher

Adrian Clingher is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL), within the College of Arts and Sciences. His research spans algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and data science, with particular focus on K3 surfaces, modular forms, and string dualities.

• PhD in Mathematics, Columbia University (2002)

Research interests include:

• Algebraic Geometry of special surfaces and fibrations
• Mathematical aspects of string theory dualities
• Data science and machine learning applications
• Moduli spaces and lattice polarizations
• Connections between algebraic geometry and number theory

Recent work (2021-2025) examines K3 surfaces with specific automorphism groups, Néron–Severi lattice structures, and isogenies of abelian varieties. Publications often involve collaborations with A. Malmendier, C. Doran, and T. Shaska, exploring geometric structures relevant to theoretical physics.

As Graduate Director for UMSL's Master's Program in Mathematics, Clingher oversees both Traditional Mathematics and Data Science emphases. Teaching includes courses like Discrete Structures and Statistical Learning & Modeling (Spring 2025).
